CHANGING THE GRAZING GAME

Research Trials

MasterHand Milling has partnered with the Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service to conduct annual summer grass cattle trials since 2019. Our goal is to provide repeatable, dependable data customers can rely on to make decisions for their operation.

Associate Professor Dr. Paul Beck and his team of graduate students design trials each year to test the impacts of feed supplementation in a variety of grazing scenarios. Throughout the program, MHM has provided extruded distillers grain range cubes for each research site. In recent years, MHM also worked with Buffalo Feeders to purchase and finish cattle for the trials.

Tested supplementation rates of DDG cubes with increased stocking rates.

Tested supplementation rates of DDG cubes with increased stocking rates.

Tested supplementation rates of DDG cubes fed through summer season.

Further testing of supplementation rates of DDG cubes on summer grass cattle.
